As the saying goes, "whom the gods want to destroy they first make crazy". One cannot but wonder whether the latest altercations in the media on the issue of genocide and specifically the N$40 million legal fees of foreign lawyers are not pointers to the effect that the gods/ancestors of the Ovaherero, Ovambanderu and Nama are out to destroy someone. Particularly seeing the public spat, and play to the gallery, whatever gallery, by two apparatuses of the government. But with hindsight one cannot also BUT doubt the relevance of the public spat and as much the sincerity of those, from whatever quarters and angles, who have joined the N$40 million legal fees public posturing.
As much one cannot understand why the matter seems lately to be enjoying more media attention and newsprint space, which is unprecedented and disproportionate when compared to the historical record of a section of the local media coverage of the genocide and reparation issue over the years.
